Examine, Don’t Compare
“But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting, but to himself alone, and not to another.” — Galatians 6:4 (NASB 1995)
In a world obsessed with comparing achievements, Paul calls believers to examine their own work. Not to prove themselves to others, but to walk in Spirit-led integrity.
The Spirit invites you to measure your growth—not by others’ successes—but by your own obedience. That quiet, faithful service God sees? That matters.
Don’t compare your ministry. Steward your assignment.
Reflection:
Am I looking to others for validation—or asking the Spirit to examine my own heart?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, teach me to live faithfully before You. Let me examine my life by Your Word, not someone else’s success. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
